The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings that's good.

This much we know: Journalism is not a precise science. It's on its best day is a crude art. We make mistakes I make mistakes. With more than 50 years as a journalist I have at least had the opportunity to blow more stories make more mistakes than maybe anybody in television.

However far modern science and techniques have fallen short of their inherent possibilities they have taught mankind at least one lesson nothing is impossible.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder or at least my biggest blunder in science.

So far at least I haven't found a way to tell my kind of stories without making them both sad and funny.

If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me I could fit in at least one maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.

The sad thing is most people have to check with someone before they do the things that make them happy. We're all passing through the least we can do is be happy and the only way to do that is by being selfish.

Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together in religious societies may not be one of the least.

Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.

When it comes to the president we have to respect him we have to protect him and we have to correct him. And in my career since he'd been on the national stage at least I've had - I've always respected the president.

When I speak of 'cycles ' I am referring to lengthy intervals of relative homogeneity if not in the resolving of problems than at least with respect to the consistency of their capacity to productively irritate.

Just in our lifetime our society has become looser and more private it becomes extremely difficult to hold to any permanent commitment whatever least of all to organized religion.

People here argue about religion interminably but it appears that they are competing at the same time to see who can be the least devout.

Fashion is almost like a religion for me at least.

If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.

I've thought about it not a lot but I thought my relationship with Congress - the Democrats and Republicans - would help me get some things done. Not everything but at least they'd be willing to try.

First and foremost I am a commercial writer and I hope to entertain people. But having said that I'm in love with the relationship between humans and dogs and the more I learned about what our military working dogs are doing I wanted to at least share with people what an important role these animals have in all our lives.

First President Reagan was not enthusiastic. But I built up a relationship with him in other areas and then persuaded him that this was important to us and to me and that we had to at least be in the process of looking at this seriously.

I can sort of do what I want. Maybe I have to work harder to prove myself in some new relationship because they've heard some wacky stories about me. But at least I can get the meeting.

The African American's relationship to Africa has long been ambivalent at least since the early nineteenth century when 3 000 black men crowded into Bishop Richard Allen's African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia to protest noisily a plan to recolonize free blacks in Africa.

The person who needs the other person the least in a relationship is the stronger member.

The one who loves the least controls the relationship.

Truth makes many appeals not the least of which is its power to shock.

In the next 10 years I expect at least five billion people worldwide to own smartphones giving every individual with such a phone instant access to the full power of the Internet every moment of every day.
